Face of Fortune

Pursued by soldiers after saving Charlotte from a nobleman who sought to take her by force, James Clarke had plunged into a raging river and was pulled under by the deadly torrent, leaving Charlotte Pruitt to endure day to day, hoping against hope that her beloved James still lives.

Running a business in an industry on the verge of revolt, Charlotte struggles to protect their child alone, fending off unscrupulous men and always aware that the nightmarish villain Edward Hawkes still stalked her. Dedicating herself to helping Jane Rourke, a weaver in her employ, who was falsely accused of crimes and sentenced to death, Charlotte is offered a way to save her friend. But at a terrible price.

From the dark and gritty streets of Spitalfields, hiding secrets both good and evil, to the haunted moors of Devon, and to the perilous heights of the northern English mountains where Charlotte’s greatest test will come, this epic saga of human kindness, passionate love, and horrifying evil never ceases to enchant… and terrify.
